Typical American runner strategy, totally whipped by east africans to the point where they don't even try to beat them. running for top 10 instead of running to medal. Same as Fisher yesterday. Molly S showed last year what you need to do to have a chance at hardware - and it doesn't involve sitting back 400m from the lead group and "running your pace"

Will remember this comment when they blow up
The stupidity of this comment is that Fisher was in the lead pack in the whole race, just got outkicked.
Can someone explain how the WA website is so horrible. For me after pushing reload, Ctrl_R, F5, and anything else, I could think of, it still gives no indication of the marathon being in progress!!
Nor was it updating heat and races yesterday in any kind of timely fashiohn.
GD HS meets have live instant results, WTF is going on?????????????????

Mostly agree with you. I mean no need to kill your whole race by hanging at the start, but with the way the pack slowed after several k's I started wondering if D'Amata had stayed on a bit longer would she have been in the lead pack most of the way? Or if she hadn't faded back would have not backed off the pace.
Meb basically got his Olympic silver by just running steady and picking off runners.
